(Make sure you know these other things airlines don’t want to tell you, but every flyer should know.)
If you want to get in on the action, you can look into sites like SecretFlying and FlyerTalk. These sites have message boards where people post about insane flight deals in a super-secret language. To an outsider, it looks like complete jargon, but to someone who does this all the time it looks like a ticket to Greece for 80 percent off.
The secret codes are constantly changing so that the airlines don’t notice, but Travel & Leisure got ahold of an expert to decode some of the lingo.
Destinations
- C1 = North America
- C2 = Europe
- C4a = including Colombia and Peru
- C4b = including Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay
Airlines
- MapleSyrup = Air Canada
- Patriot = American Airlines
Tactics
- Squeeze = Adding flights before and after the main itinerary to get the tickets for cheap
- Trim the Fuel Surcharge = Booking a third flight after a round-trip that trims the fuel charge that’s added onto ticket prices
- Virgin strike = nothing needs to be added to get the good deal
If you don’t think you’ll be able to keep up with this underground world, try these other (more user-friendly) methods to score cheap flights.
